I&#39;ve been waiting until after the holidays to get things rolling again, as I now have a class 10 microsd card to play with. I started to wonder though, if there is a GPIO that supports the encoding that the cubietruck chip doesn&#39;t. It would be nice to be able to add on that hardware acceleration to accomplish what we&#39;er trying to do. If you get to it before me let me know! Also were you using a class 10 sd card? k0nceptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107735835736048459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432591768984914302.post-61192661924406128212013-12-26T13:35:39.420-07:002013-12-26T13:35:39.420-07:00Hi there!

I have also recently purchased a Cubitruck, only to discover that the XBMC community doesn&#39;t appear to recommend using any of the AllWinner SoC setups... =/ Awesome! Not... <br /><br />I have now tried various images, including the new PCTV image, which crashes very quickly, Lubuntu, Wheezy and Android 4.2. <br /><br />Out of all of those Android 4.2 is the most stable and most functional. And XBMC actually works. Except for displaying movies. It only renders at around 10-20fps at 720p. Which is awful. <br /><br />How far did you get with your own project?<br /><br />Cheers, Michel<br /><br />michel thomasiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207389516887938784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432591768984914302.post-34393041567955275302013-12-14T10:18:24.327-07:002013-12-14T10:18:24.327-07:00My end goal is to play both 720p and 1080 over xbm...My end goal is to play both 720p and 1080 over xbmc on the cubie. At this time I need to switch a few things around as xbmc is almost none responsive when is use. I believe this is due to my microsd card coming from an old cell phone. Once I switch to a class 10 microsd card I&#39;ll be able to fully examine how well xbmc will work. From what I understand is that the cubie doesn&#39;t have built in capabilities of higher video compression and decompression. I&#39;ll have a follow up post sometime after the holidays with more detail as to what works and what doesn&#39;t to compare to the pi. k0nceptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107735835736048459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432591768984914302.post-15090359214445023182013-12-14T08:08:01.205-07:002013-12-14T08:08:01.205-07:00Great post thanks.

You wrote you were able to play both 720p and 1080 smoothly. How did you install XBMC on it? Custom build? Compile? <br />Thanks<br />A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
